my 135is lease ends in the Fall of 2015, after which point buying out the 135is, getting a 1M, or ordering an M2 are basically the top 3 options at this time.....mayyyyyybe an F80 M3 in that list too, however i think it's sort of 'too much car' for my tastes.

i REALLY hope that Ian is right and that mid-2015 is the target time for the M2. If it is, it will add a nice option to my very short list of viable desires. I really don't like the M235i, but i LOVE that clip of the M235 racing.....and am hoping the M2 is more like that and obviously a continuation of the fantastic 1M.
